<P>That helped. Follow up question if I may. The above board card I settled on is an MSI GeForce GTX 1650. The card has a 6 port PCI connector on top but my PS has no power for it directly and there is nothing I can see on the Erica2. If I want to use this above board card do I need to switch out the PS for something with a 6 port PCI to power up the graphics card? If so what PS will fit into this model and give me the required power out to energize the MSI video card?</P>Sun, 16 Feb 2020 20:58:04 GMTHAKADADDY2020-02-16T20:58:04ZHP Desktop - M01-F0016 / Erica Motherboard / PCIe Generationhttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476638#M185283
<P>I have just purchased this device. Documentation is scarce. I want to find out what generation the motherboard slots are from PCIe perspective. I think 3rd generation. User manuals state I can upgrade video beyond the R11 discrete provided with the box. Can anyone provide clarity on this?</P>Sun, 16 Feb 2020 16:40:52 GMThttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476638#M185283HAKADADDY2020-02-16T16:40:52ZRe: HP Desktop - M01-F0016 / Erica Motherboard / PCIe Generationhttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476653#M185285

<P>Again helpful. Does this PS have same footprint? Also the MSI GTX1650 has a 4 pin on top of the card not a 6 pin so doubt that would work. Maybe I need to return and start from scratch. Card fits fine.&nbsp;</P>Sun, 16 Feb 2020 22:29:53 GMThttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476910#M185300HAKADADDY2020-02-16T22:29:53ZRe: HP Desktop - M01-F0016 / Erica Motherboard / PCIe Generationhttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476918#M185301

<P>I lied. It’s 6 pin. Wi no 6 pin on MOBO I can take directly from PS. I checked that link but did not get a part that I could order. Seems that the MOBO is powered via a proprietary 4 pin connector right? Are there any other 3rd party PS you know if that would work? If this is going to get too difficult then maybe return and start over?</P>Sun, 16 Feb 2020 23:09:20 GMThttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476925#M185303HAKADADDY2020-02-16T23:09:20ZRe: HP Desktop - M01-F0016 / Erica Motherboard / PCIe Generationhttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Desktop-M01-F0016-Erica-Motherboard-PCIe-Generation/m-p/7476933#M185304
